Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Shower tray repair in Evenwood Gate, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common questions in Evenwood Gate
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Evenwood Gate and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
When to call us in Evenwood Gate
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
What your quote should include

- Who turns up on the day
